3.0 out of 5 stars Missing: lyrics, September 30, 2007

This review is from: Shock Value (Audio CD)

I had heard of these guys a little while ago with "Excalmation!" and dug what I was hearing as far as the music went. I bought this album not too long ago having really enjoyed "Nicotine Queen", "Dive-Bomb" and "Casket Junkie". I gave it a good few spins through and if you enjoy the music and want to know what the singer is saying.. don't. The lyrics on this album are pretty weak as far as I am concerned which was really a shame because the music is great! huge sound, great guitars and big drums and each song gives you a good kick. So of course when you dig it enough to want to sing along a bit you check out the lyrics and it's just dissapointing is all because it's as if the words are just there.. they don't tell you anything or even make you want to sing along. So I'm happy to keep spinning this CD because the music rocks pretty good but I'll just try to ignore the words.
P.S.- If someone knows amore about what he's talking about in most of the songs or if there's a reason the wording is so ambiguous to anything please let me know. Overall not a bad CD.

Now, I agree with both other reviews in that TGV is similar to ETID, but they deserve a better that a 3 star review. Some people may prefer TGV to Every Time I Die. I ,for example, prefer Destroy The Runner over As I Lay Dying though many consider Destroy The Runner an As I Lay Dying clone. That is why I gave TGV a 4-star instead of 3-star.

I am in agreement with the other review of the cd. There are traces of Every Time I Die in the cd, and it seems to be capitalizing on the whole southern rock and metalcore style. Who knows how long this will last?

But the cd is very enjoyable, some great breakdowns, but its still a little stale.
